Wasteland Twinning

Wasteland Twinning hijacks the concept of ‘City Twinning’ and applies it to urban Wastelands in order to generate a network for parallel research and action.

By subverting a concept which aims to parade a city’s more predictable and mainstream cultural assets and shifting the focus to Wastelands, questions of value and function will be raised. From these questions, new practices will be developed. Wasteland Twinning aims to develop an understanding of the potential of these sites through cross-disciplinary models of practice. A hub wasteland in central Berlin has been established. The online network – www.wasteland-twinning.net – will function as a catalyst for collaborative research approaches, critique and experimentation.
